The Archery World Cup Final Bidding Process is Now Open!

Archery - 06 Apr 2010
   
FITA – the International Archery Federation – announced today that the bidding process for their 2012 and 2013 World Cup Final is officially open.

The President of FITA, Prof Dr Ugur ERDENER, was responsible for making the announcement from the federation’s headquarters in Lausanne, Switzerland. All cities, regions, FITA member associations, private event organisers and corporate partners are eligible to bid for the 2012, 2013, or both Archery World Cup Final events.

Each year, hosts continue to raise the bar in terms of event atmosphere and city promotion during the World Cup Final. The 2009 Archery World Cup Final featured Copenhagen’s famous Canal of Nyhavn (photo) with top archers shooting across the water! With simplified venue requirements and minimal technical regulations, FITA provides its hosts with the freedom and flexibility to set up the most dramatic and extravagant backdrop to showcase their city through sport.

The Archery World Cup consists of four stages held in spectacular venues around the world, all culminating in a grand World Cup Final, where only the top archers compete over two days. Based on previous figures, a city’s prime venue can be showcased to up to 250 million TV viewers during one event, which doesn’t include the millions viewing full coverage of the event on www.archery.tv.

The bidding process takes a simple, straightforward approach. Interested parties have until 1 September 2010, midnight, to submit their bid documents for either the 2012, 2013 or both World Cup Final events. All bid candidates are then invited to gain first-hand experience of the event at the 2010 Archery World Cup Final in Edinburgh on 18-19 September. The process concludes in Lausanne when the FITA Selection Committee will select the hosts on 12 November. Bid documents are available through the FITA office or can be downloaded here . A guide for potential hosts is also available here .

Prof Dr Ugur ERDENER, FITA President, said:
“After finding great success in our previous bidding process which has helped us partner with fantastic hosts from 2009 to 2011, it is with great pleasure and excitement that we are launching yet another Archery World Cup Final bid process. Taking what we have learned and building on it for the future, we are truly looking forward to creating two more incredible events with the new 2012 and 2013 Archery World Cup hosts.”

This year’s Archery World Cup Final will be featured at the Edinburgh Castle in the heart of Edinburgh, following an exclusive list of iconic competition locations, including: the Mayapan Pyramids, Merida; Madinat Jumeirah, Dubai; Montbenon Park, Lausanne; and the Canal of Nyhavn, Copenhagen.
